  • North American Geography Lesson 4: Jack Kramer Unit Overview: As
    North American Geography Lesson 4: Jack Kramer Unit Overview: As students work through the activities in this unit they will be introduced to the United States in general, different regions of the United States, map symbols, Hall of Famer Jack Kramer, and his Barnstorming Tour of the 1950s. They will explore, through varied learning experiences, the significance of Kramer’s tour to the game of tennis while learning about different parts of the country. The activities that accompany this unit are geared towards the students’ multiple intelligences and will provide academic challenges at multiple levels of cognitive complexity while satisfying the goal of working towards mastery of grade appropriate common core standards of Literacy, Geography, and Mathematics. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Gain background knowledge through vocabulary activities and comprehension activities (such as guided questioning and using appropriate graphic organizers) the geography of the United States and its regions, along with what it was like in the 1950s. • Form an understanding of the contribution that Jack Kramer made to the sport of tennis. • Demonstrate what they have learned about the geography of the United States, map skills, Jack Kramer and his significance to the game of tennis, and his place in history by successfully completing guided questioning activities, group organizers, and by taking part in meaningful classroom discussions. Common Core Standards: CCSS.ELA – Literacy RI 4.3 - Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text. CCSS.ELA – Literacy RI 4.7 - Interpret information presented visually, orally, or quantitatively (e.g., in charts, graphs, diagrams, time lines, animations, or interactive elements on Web pages) and explain how the information contributes to an understanding of the text in which it appears.

  • Bob Sherman Leaves Behind a Legacy on the Courts of Santa Barbara After His Passing Last Week at the Age of 96
    Sherman had world on a tennis string By MARK PATTON, NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER Share Story Bob Sherman leaves behind a legacy on the courts of Santa Barbara after his passing last week at the age of 96. NEWS-PRESS FILE January 1, 2017 12:23 AM Bob Sherman poses with his beloved tennis racket, a game he picked up after his Bob Sherman's exploits in basketball college days on the and track got him into UCSB's hardwood at UCSB. Athletics Hall of Fame, but some keen RAFAEL MALDONADO/NEWS-PRESS foresight led him to a different game FILE three years after graduation: "Tennis is a sport you can play forever," he once explained. And that's just about how long his sporting career lasted. Sherman, who won his last national tennis championship barely two years ago, passed away on Dec. 23 at age 96. His memorial service, set for Jan. 29 from 1 to 3 p.m., will be held at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club, built on the site where he once ran and jumped and threw the javelin for the Gauchos. Nobody would've appreciated such irony as much as Sherman, whose dry sense of humor was as clever as his tennis game. "It was in the gulch, just around the corner from the old college," Sherman once said, referring to UCSB's former campus on the Santa Barbara Riviera. "They had this great track oval there, and you just had to slide down the hill to get there. "It was the perfect setting for a tennis club." Larry Mousouris, the club's longtime director of tennis, liked to call Sherman "a national treasure" for the graceful way he managed the games of tennis and life.
